The challenge of overcoming difficulties, namely through sport for disabled people, is always a way of bringing up new proposals concerning teaching and researching having in mind this kind of population. Therefore, and taking in consideration that a significant amount of information in nowadays’ society runs through sight, we find of major importance to approach such a sport as Goalball, as has been scarcely researched and also due to its increasing development around several countries.  Hence, it is our aim to accomplish a research about Goalball, not only because is a Para Olympic Sport but also because   contains certain features of Collective Sporting Games (CSG) concerning technical and tactical particularities and offensive/defensive systems. A sport should be known within its several structural features, namely the strategies which can be adopted by blind and visually impaired when practicing.

Keywords : goalball; visually impaired; defensive and ofensive actions.
